Why Soy Protein Hydrolysate
- Provides amino acids and nitrogen necessary for plant growth
- Increases plant health and vigor through increased nutrient uptake (Halpern et al., 2015)
- Increases plant growth and yield when applied ad a coating to seeds (Amirkhani et al., 2016)
- When used as a foliar spray, improves plant yields (Colla et al., 2015)
- Improves plant health and growth by feeding beneficial microbes which improve plant health and growth (Tejada et al., 2011)
Ingredients
Hydrolysate derived from OMRI organic soy protein
How to Use
Foliar spray & root drench: 1-2 TBSP per gallon of water
